In the 2018 spy-thriller Raazi, directed by Meghna Gulzar, Alia Bhatt played a spy named Sehmat, who is married to a Pakistani army official, played by Vicky Kaushal. The film starred Jaideep Ahlawat as Khalid Mir, a Research and Analysis Wing agent who mentored Alia Bhatt's character Sehmat.

Pataal Lok, produced by Anushka Sharma and her brother Karnesh's production house Clean Slate Films, showcases the story of an investigative officer (Hathiram), who is on the lookout for four criminals behind a failed assassination attempt of a well-known journalist Sanjeev Mehra (played by Neeraj Kabi). The show comprising nine episodes, is streaming on Amazon Prime.

Paatal Lok, starring Jaideep Ahlawat, Neeraj Kabi, Ishwak Singh, Gul Panag, Jagjeet Sandhu, Swastika Mukherjee, Vipin Sharma, opened to stellar reviews. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the show 4 stars out of 5 and wrote: "Paatal Lok is its own beast. It plunges, unflinching, into an abyss and shines a light on the darkness at its heart."
